What tires were on the '6 GT3?

Pretty impressive it could keep up as well as it did in the straight bits. Seemed to have a little better run coming out of the corners helping him though.

I have not driven Road Atlanta, but when I do I would not run over the curb at T3, unless I'm driving my soft sprung Cayenne TT.

Nothing wrong with hitting that curb, it actually helps rotate the car for turn 4 when done properly.
996 was on nitto nt-01's and he just bought that car from guy who just moved up to a 997 cup

Lewis, sign up for chin march 12th

Looks like one serious drop-off. Kind of made me nauseous, or maybe that was the looseness of the 996.

I've hit a couple of the curbs on the beginning of the Esses in my kart. Not pretty. Those things are BIG, one time I was up on two wheels for about 50 ft and had to clean my shorts afterwards. That place is one of my favorite tracks, especially in a kart.

it would tear my suspension to pieces, keep in my mind that my springs are 500% stiffer than your springs.

Nope. Not that curb.

Perhaps best to comment after you have been there?

Rad, even I hit it! Less of a jump than going under the bride.
Looked at my lap 9,11 and 12 I am sure I can do a 1:35

Dave is going to tell me to stop pussyfooting down T12 and up T1 ;-) He'd be right. Again.

Rad that turn pales in comparison to some of the bumps around Sebring.

+1. T3 is probably one of my favorite at Road Atlanta.
